france is our historical, cultural and ideologically ally.

i stand with them, unconditionally.

there is no debate.

fwiw, i think that macron's comments were essentially correct, even if he's picking false targets, and that it's important that the free world stands with him in his churchillian struggle against extremism.

it's about time, really, that a major western leader took the right position on this.

france always falls first, and then we have to save them. will we stand with them from the start, this time? or will we fail to learn, yet again?

i think i'm overwhelmingly deciding that i'm ridiculously dehydrated :\.

the guy runs a dehumidifier upstairs and the idiot thinks it's good for his health. it's probably giving him migraines and making him sick, and it's drying me out, deeply. it's absurd, but i think it's the right answer.

so, i need to get more water, shower twice daily and potentially keep the windows open more frequently - although i'd like to avoid the latter.

but, i mean, i've pointed this out before - this may suck for a while, but if the policy of the government is to encourage religious festivities, and the result is that large numbers of older religious people die, it's a net positive for the future of the province.

so, go ahead out and worship, like lambs led to slaughter....

baaaaaaaaaa.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

given that everybody agrees that the current bump in cases is being driven by family get-togethers and religious observances, such as thanksgiving, which coincides with columbus day in canada, it's unclear why anybody would expect closing bars would make any difference.

ontario has a large south asian population, and their "diwali" festival is likely the next super-spreading event, unless the authorities take steps to shut it down - which they, of course, will not.

it's easier to just blame it on the sinners.

https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2020/10/25/ontario-reports-1042-new-covid-19-cases-in-second-consecutive-record-day.html

you're blaming it all on yoko, aren't you.

predictable.

don't blame it on her.

(i'm not going to post blame it on me, you can look that one up, if you're not hung up on the band's name, i guess)

something else to be worried about is the potential of getting cancer in my mouth or throat (from hpv or from carcinogenic air), and while i did have weird lesions fairly often back when i was a smoker, that's entirely gone away since i quit in early 2016. 

i should keep an eye on that, of course.

but, i don't have sores. i don't have bumps. i don't have lesions. it's just some weird shit on the back of my tongue, and some swollen tonsils.

my breath doesn't seem to be so bad right now, but i also scrubbed it off with my toothbrush. i'll keep an eye on that.

i'm going to gargle and get back to work.

ok, let's be real.

i've had almost no contact with anybody since march. the chances that i picked up strep throat at the grocery store are exceedingly remote.

but, if it's candida, the actual cause would have to either be extreme dehydration (and i've complaining about that since i moved in here) or undiagnosed diabetes (which i keep worrying about, but keep testing negative for). and those both seem obscure, as well.

so, am i left with tonsillitis as a reaction to a virus?

am i reacting to the smoke from upstairs, even? that would be more extreme than i'd expect, but i'm getting a little older.....

i know i need to swab to know, but i want to have a good reason to get swabbed. 

so, i'll give it a few days...

but, if i'm getting my tonsils out, i want my ice cream up front, dammit.

feeling around my neck, my tonsils do feel a little swollen.

hrmmn.

and, the obvious question: is covid-19 known to produce complications in the tonsils, the way that other colds and flus do? is this evidence that i recently came into contact with the virus without otherwise realizing it?

you wouldn't otherwise expect a virus like covid-19 to produce symptoms that are characteristic of a bacterial infection.

i still have my tonsils, though, too...

do adults get tonsilitis?

is that actually a thing?

is there an age limit for ice cream?

to be clear: the symptom is white film at the very back of my tongue, along with a sore throat.

it's clearly some kind of growth, and i am dehydrated. that just seems sort of extreme...

the smoke has been unnoticeable in here for the last 24 hours or so (finally. i can only hope it's gone.), but i seem to have picked up strep throat, which i'm diagnosing myself with due to the white film on my tongue, which appears to be bacterial. i just can't imagine how. i haven't bummed a smoke from anybody in weeks.

i can't tell if i have a fever or not, but i otherwise feel fine.

the only other thing i can think of is that it's so dry in here that it gave me oral thrush. i was reacting pretty badly to the dry air coming from the furnace when it turned on, but you'd think that's an extreme reaction.

*shrug*.

need to drink more water...

there's a thorough update & review for the fruit bowl coming, i've just had to double back on it a few times.

i said i was going to post an update on my analysis of my own analysis, and i'm going to just use chilliwack as a case study.

the polls, almost all of which were online until the final days, were suggesting that the ndp was going to get upwards of 50% of the vote:

i missed the forum poll, which was the only really legitimate polling done, and turned out to be the only one that was actually right. funny that.

and, this is not unique - this happens in election after election, in canada. the online stuff is not polling, and it doesn't work. so, you don't want to average it out - you want to remove it and throw it in the trash. it just pollutes the sample.

but, based on the limited amount of evidence from actual polling that i could find, i deduced that:

1) the ndp vote was inflated by not counting undecideds. they will get more in the 40-45% range, and they did.

2) the liberal vote is underestimated because most of the undecideds are right-wing liberals, and most of them will come back - and most of them did. but, i pointed out that the phantom bc conservative party, which government and media doesn't want to acknowledge exists, is likely going to be the deciding factor in the election, because that's where the actual swing was - if right-wing liberals decided to vote for wilkinson in the end, the results could tighten up a lot. but, if they stay home or vote for the conservatives, those inflated results could stabilize.

3) the green vote may be underestimated if green voters decide at the last minute that the ndp is going to win for sure, anyways, so they'd might as well vote with their hearts.

i deduced that there wasn't enough data to determine if the ndp would get a minority or majority with confidence.

chilliwack

2017 results in chilliwack:

liberals - 48%

ndp - 32%

green - 17%

2013 results:

liberal 47%

ndp - 31%

conservative - 12%

green - 8%

so, we see that the results were actually fairly stable.

2020 result:

liberal - 29%

ndp - 38%

conservative - 18%

green - 10%

while the ndp are up a little - and this may be a reflection of the reduced sample size, given that older people haven't voted by mail yet - the dip in liberal support seems to be more connected to the boost in conservative support. and, this pattern plays out. the result is an ndp win in a very right-wing riding, and they'll need to be cognizant of that as they govern, if they do.

so, i seem to have nailed this.

and, we'll have to await final results to see if the ndp get a majority or not.

so, these are the ridings that could potentially flip after they count all of the votes, with the highlighted ones being seats that the ndp could potentially lose.

that's 15 ridings, more than enough to justify waiting for the process to complete before declaring a winner.

now, i'm not saying that they'll be knocked down to a minority. i'm just saying that the outcome isn't clear, yet. at all.

"but the polls said that ndp voters were more likely to vote by mail!"

well, that's one of those goofy questions that you can't really poll properly, and the pollsters should know that. regardless, the people you actually expect to vote by mail are older people, and they always lean right. if you look at some of the more confusing outcomes tonight, where the ndp seem to have won in places they didn't even expect to on a lower than projected popular vote, much of it is potentially explained by older voters not having their votes counted yet. so, maybe, in the end, more ndp supporters than liberal supporters voted by mail, province wide - but i'd expect that result won't hold in places like chilliwack.

i went through chilliwack & hope on the back of a haytrack, once. this is a conservative farming town....

again: i'm not projecting results. i've been very careful to avoid projecting results in the absence of data.

but, nobody should be declaring victory yet - and nobody should be conceding, either.

and, i've stated this repeatedly, but i'll state it again: my hope was that the greens would increase their ability to hold the ndp accountable on the environment.

so, i was hoping for a minority government, where the greens continued to hold the balance of power.

and, i'm not yet willing to concede that the ndp have won a majority - and don't expect it to be decided until they count all of the votes.

i'm adding up 33 ndp elected seats and a lot more that are still too close to call. 

the cbc may end up right in the end, but they're jumping the gun - their deduction is not in line with their data.

https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/british-columbia/2020/results/

but, if you look through this, you'll see that what's happening right now is that the ndp are leading in weird places due to a boost in the conservative vote - which is what i pulled out of the undecided numbers. so, there's essentially a vote split on the right, and we'll have to see in the end if it holds or not.

i'm considering my analysis correct, at this point, and don't have a lot of corrections to make, yet. i'll take a closer look at it when they're done - at least for the night.

right, so, if it stays the same, i got it right

ndp 40-45 (actual: 44)

liberal 35-40 (actual:35)

greens 15-20 (actual: 16)

and, it's closer than expected, as i suggested.

but, it was impossible to predict a majority or minority - and the exact outcome is uncertain.

one of the scandals in the election was around a candidate that suggested that taxpayer-funded contraception was a eugenics program, and he was rightly laughed out of the room for it. wilkinson reacted by pointing out that he, too, supports taxpayer-funded contraception.

but, his base in rural bc sure doesn't - which is who that candidate was accurately representing. they don't support abortion rights either, fwiw.

again: the data is too minimal to present a clear prediction. but, how this turns out is going to have a lot to do with how that coalition holds, and you just wouldn't have a good grasp of that by reading the media reports, which largely report like there isn't a right in bc, at all.

this is also from that poll released today:

the bottom line is the undecided vote in the rural regions. the second line is the liberal vote total in those regions - the area the liberals usually win in.

now, do you think they're undecided between the ndp and the greens out there, in the old socred heartland? or is it more likely that the liberal numbers have caved on the right, to the undecided faction? some of these ridings don't even have green candidates...

what i think is that they're trying to figure out if they're going to vote for that pinko wilkinson, or finally bolt and vote conservative.

we'll see, soon enough.

just to chime in on the last minute analysis before the polls close...

i'm not saying that the online "polling" is wrong, what i'm pointing out is that if you're not sampling then you're not polling. it could turn out that one of the online "focus groups" (and that is what they are doing - not polling) is the most accurate in the pile, but it would just be by sheer luck. 

so, you can tell me i'm not doing any math, but i keep telling you that your data is useless - and the theory says that it has no predictive value, whatsoever.

there was one other actual, real poll released by mainstreet today and while the headlines say one thing, the data says another:

that's about consistent with what i pulled out of the leger poll regarding the ndp, although it has the liberals coming in a lot lower. the only way to make sense of that is to conclude that the liberals are deeply restless on their right flank, right now. the "another party" line is mostly the bc conservatives - but the undecided is going to be either the furthest right or the furthest left. the swing vote in the centre in canada is very, very small - a truth that holds at every level, in every region.

according to the media, the bc conservatives don't exist. but, they're a major factor in the liberals trying to hold their base, which would be considered conservatives almost anywhere else, in canada.

if they're not afraid of horgan (because he's not very left-wing), or think that wilkinson is basically the same as the rest (and he is.) then it opens up huge levels of uncertainty as to how that coalition holds itself together. that is more likely to determine the outcome than anything else - including restless environmentalists trying to make a balanced choice.

my position from the start is that we have almost no data to base any meaningful projections on. the "online polling" is not math, and not useful in making predictions. we had one poll, and i pulled what i could from it.

this poll backs up the basic analysis, but opens up some greater levels of uncertainty and some wider error bars.

i wish i had more data, but there isn't much, and you shouldn't be surprised if the outcome is a surprise.

ultimately, students that demonstrate a consistent inability to understand context when necessary should be failed and told to focus on something less intellectually demanding, in their lives.

i hope the school takes the right position, but i suspect they'll cede to the money involved, unfortunately.

i'll let him explain it.

so, you tell me you're "offended".

and, i'll tell you that if you can't handle having an adult conversation using adult language then you should go sit at the kid's table for a while and come back when you've grown up.

words have meanings, and are never used incorrectly, in the proper context.

those who would seek to eliminate words from the language, or implement a newspeak of sanitized terms, must be resisted - and doing so must be of exceedingly high priority.

the first step to allowing the state to determine how you think is to let them control the language. 

it is the first step towards fascism.

it's always good to make time for the classics.

the issue's been dealt with, and they should just expel anybody that keeps whining about it, under the argument that they're defaming the school and are not intellectually mature enough to attend a university.

mitch mcconnell doesn't look to me like he's suffering from a health condition - although that kind of bruising may be a side effect of chemo, or of steroids - so much as he looks to me like he got in a fight.

gotta wonder if somebody got sent to rough him up.

leger released a last minute poll. it's one of those wonky split sample things, but at least there's some sampling.

and, this is what i expected to see:

those are the actual numbers. 

the survey companies then assume that the 14% of people that answered in some non-standard way are equally likely to vote for any of the parties and reweight the outcome, accordingly. but this is always the primary source of error in polling, in canada. i keep yelling at them to stop doing that, and they keep doing it.

the undecideds are never truly randomly distributed, in the end. the data companies need to be neutral, so it's up to somebody like myself to try to read the polls and figure out what they actually say.

the balance of the data - however sparse it is - suggests that there are two major swing blocks in bc right now:

1) rural voters trying to choose between the liberals and conservatives. they may rather vote conservative, but i suspect they'll mostly actually vote liberal.

2) ndp/green fence voters that want to vote green but don't want the liberals to win. if the headlines are telling them an ndp majority is obvious, they may be more likely to vote green. oops.

there is a third, smaller block:

3) upper class voters in the downtown core may opt for the ndp instead, this time, instead of their preferred liberals. this will likely have an effect on the popular vote, without affecting the outcome much.

so, i strongly suspect that that 42% is about where the ndp will end up, in the end - a modest bump. they may get 43, 44 - something like that. suggestions that they're running over 45% do not appear to be grounded in meaningful evidence.

further, that 14% should distribute partly to the greens and mostly to the liberals, who will likely end up somewhere above 35.

so, i'm going to produce a wide popular vote projection, after all:

ndp: 40-45

liberals: 35-40

greens: 15-20

and, as stated, trying to predict a majority or minority from that is foolish.

no, seriously, though.

how would the government react if i got arrested and told them i was only going to negotiate with the queen?

"sir, your rules are bourgeois and the force of your officers is of no legal consequence. you exist only to uphold capital. so, i will only communicate with the queen, or with her direct representative. bring me to her at once."

they'd put me in the fucking crazy house.

these people think they can conduct polling without sampling.

it's madness.

the liberal party in bc is a very strange vehicle, in that it came out of the social credit movement, which started off as a type of right-wing collectivism, but ended up as a christian conservative movement. they ran the province for decades, and then morphed into the liberal party. so, you have this weird reality in bc where the liberals are the political vehicle for the most right-wing voters - and nobody likes it, not the liberal party and not the voters that support them. it's a sort of a conservative-liberal coalition to defeat the "socialists", but it's success really relies on how scary the ndp is - otherwise it falls apart.

if you look at the data closely, it seems like the ndp are pretty much flat - they may have picked up a point or two on both sides, but it's not a big swing.

the liberals, on the other hand, have dropped 15 points, and the recipient seems to have initially been the bc conservatives, and now may be nobody at all.

so, i don't have any data....

....but, i wonder if the shape of the curve is defined by quiet right-leaning liberals ducking out, which would inflate the ndp vote by decreasing the sample size. you couldn't tell with online polling, because they don't sample.

i also mentioned the effect of strengthening ndp support in the downtown core, which is unlikely to flip many seats.

again: i'm not making a prediction based on essentially nothing.

but, everything says "the ndp numbers are inflated" and you should expect a closer result than is being broadcast. i don't feel confident suggest consequences from that closer result.

this is a very weird graph.

are the liberals actually bleeding support primarily to their right?

so, what do i think of the polls in bc?

i don't think there's been many, honestly. or, at least, i don't think there's been many good ones.

the thing about online polling is that it comes with a pretty hefty bias towards young people who bunch up in specific places, so when you have a party like the liberals in bc that draws mostly from rural voters and is a cycle or two away from dying off, you have to work in that bias. it kind of follows that if all the online polls suggest the ndp is up five-ten points from where they were, there's not a lot of evidence towards movement at all.

what do the telephone polls - that use mathematical sampling techniques - actually say?

there hasn't been one since the end of september, which doesn't help anybody right now.

so, what i'm going to tell you is that i don't have any data to work with, and i consequently can't help elucidate something that doesn't exist - except to suggest to you that the metrics that we have seen would be expected to skew highly towards the ndp, and you should probably expect a close result than is being projected. there is also a weak signal suggesting that the liberal party's right may be disinterested at the moment and being underpolled; if they show up after all, we could see a surprise.

i don't have enough data to predict a majority or minority. 

sorry.

it's really a reflection of the juvenilization of society that young adults in university are having debates over saying bad words. i don't want to hear a debate about "academic freedom", i want to address the issue as one of intellectual maturity, and send the whiners back to elementary school.

it makes me cringe every time i see an adult revert to the mind of an eight year-old as they mutter the phrase "the n word", like they're afraid they'll get their mouth washed out with soap.

all you niggers out there need to grow the fuck up.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/university-ottawa-n-word-controversy-1.5772409

you know that jim henson was a massive zappa fan, right?

(this song is actually about drug addicts)

but, wait!

so, this is the study that the previous study i linked to sources:

http://oa.fins.uns.ac.rs/oa/bitstream/handle/123456789/80/Kojic%20et%20al.%202017%20Final.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=n

The majority of the food samples analyzed in this study have been obtained from the local market and food stores in Novi Sad (Serbia). Wheat grain (Triticum aestivum), all durum wheat (T. durum), triticale (Triticosecale), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and rye (Secale cereale) samples were obtained from the collection of samples of the Laboratory of the Institute of Food Technology. 

so, that study was collecting durum wheat samples from a lab, which had been sitting there for who knows how long, and fucked with who knows how many times and how many ways. we all may like seconds of pasta, but these second are sloppy, indeed.

i'll stick with the usda numbers, meaning i'm ok with betaine in the pasta bowl, after all.

but, wait.

if you go back with the pasta, what i typed was:

pasta - 188*.55 = 103.4 (c)

i must have misread the data as 188 mg/100g, in which case 55% of that is 103.4.

but, the data is 188 μg/g which is 188 μg/g*(1 mg/1000 μg) = .188 mg/g = 18.8 mg/100g.

then, 18.8*.55 = 10.34.

but, the usda source (see previous posts) has the data for spaghetti, dry, enriched listed at 140 mg/100g, and then 140*.55 = 77 mg is the correct calculation, and actually enough to not require a supplemental source.

so, what is the right answer? that's a big spread.

i dunno.

i'll think this through soon.

so, the question i need to ask myself with the bran is how much i need to get enough betaine, and in the process i found a conversion factor error with the pasta - it should say 10.34, not 103.4. so, i need to do a comprehensive review of the data entries to make sure i'm sure that everything is right. i'm also not clear what the right answer for the pasta bowl is, as that puts me back in the orange. i've done a few of these self-reviews, and i'm sure i'll do a few more. it's a part of the process.

right now, i need to know how much i need in my fruit bowl, and the answer is:

165 - (.136 + .3 + 1.05 + .375 + 2.048 + 1.034 + 45.2925 + .217) = 114.5475

so, i need 125 mg or so in the fruit bowl.

the usda survey of choline suggests that the brand i bought (kellog's all bran original) has 360 mg of betaine per 100 g of cereal.

https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400525/data/choline/choln02.pdf

that is about on par with the 320-410 mg/100g data presented here:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324113089_Betaine_in_Cereal_Grains_and_Grain-Based_Products

360x = 125 <---> x = 125/360 = 0.34722222222

so, 35 g should be sufficient. as it is, the serving size is 36 g. i'll just stick with that.

i am going to prepare this meal now - i'm a little behind from running around the last few days. but, in that 36 g i'll also get:

60% b1

10% b2

25% b3

8% b5

10% b6

10% b9

0% c, d & e

while i clearly will still need the vector, i may be able to reduce the amount of some ingredients, with this.

for the first meal, at least, i'm going to throw it in and then get to adding everything up. i will do my review of the data as i enter in the bran, so the next update should be triple-checked, for the fruit bowl, at least. i'll do a similar review for the past bowl when i enter in the sunflower seed data.

how much betaine do i need for the pasta bowl, now?

165 - (.2 + 10.34 + .42 + .44 + 106+ .088) = 47.512

360x = 50 <---> x= 50/360 = 0.13888888888. so, i'd need 15 g of all bran in the pasta bowl...

it's an idea i should consider.

for now, i need to make some cereal.

so, i just urinated and it was a mellow yellow.

i don't seem to have iron issues, then - which is something i'd have a reasonable concern about. but, it seems fine, for now.

you can imagine this creeped me out a little, but it only took a few seconds to figure it out.

https://www.annaliisakapp.com/2016/01/how-to-test-your-bowel-transit-time-a-k-a-beet-test-why-its-important.html

i haven't urinated much at all in the last 24 hours, but it took me a lengthy amount of time to consume a meal with 160 g of beets and it passed on the first movement, within about ten hours of consumption.

that meal had 500 g of red peppers, 220 g of carrots & 130 g of lime as well, so i'm comfortable with it passing quickly.

i've been pooping orange since i switched to carrots; beets are going to be a normal part of my diet, now, so the purple shit is something i'll need to get used to.

.....and, actually, that was a very fast comparison - mangoes blow them both away across the board.

so, i'm going to replace the nectarine with the mango, which seems to be quite plentiful in the stores, here - even more so than peaches or pears.

that will floor the c, as well - enough that i could reduce the strawberries a little. it will also introduce a supplemental source of beta-carotene.

i'm going to do this tentatively, though, and not update the data right away. i need to carefully check things like cost and weigh the mangoes and whatnot. i think mangoes are the better choivce all around, but i'll need to do some shopping in early november to be sure.

for now, it's going to be nectarines for a week and a bit, anyways.

why am i insisting on nectarines? why not get peaches? aren't they really the same fucking thing?

well, the data i've been able to find suggests there is a difference in inositol, but i'm wondering if it's really substantive.

i posted the source:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a4fe/6e428501f09d5bf283459527b87dbf432aa3.pdf

it's pretty clear:

nectarines - 1.18 mg/g

peach (fresh) - .58 mg/g

i've found further examples of this data in multiple published sources (including a few published textbooks at google books), so it seems like it's well regarded, at least. i've then found multiple claims that inositol is virtually undetectable in peaches.

but, they're the same fucking thing.

i know - it doesn't make sense. it's been published many times, but i'm questioning the source. is it about how they're grown? was that a specific grower? at a specific time?

i kind of want to take a step back from it, regardless, for two reasons:

1) the nectarines i found were kind of expensive, and trucked or (hopefully not.) flown in from california. that seems very silly. i can call on ontario growers to produce more nectarines, but i can't imagine them out of thin air.

2) the data that i penciled in - 129 g - seems to be far smaller than anything i'm going to find in a store. the average fruit of this type seems to be more like 175-190 g.

so, if i'm given the choice between peaches and nectarines, it seems like i want to pick nectarines - even if i'm skeptical about the truth of the whole thing. but, if i don't have the choice, i need to ask if i should make due with what exists, and ponder if a peach is good enough.

so, i want to extract as much goodness as i can, but how much do i actually need?

300 - (19.5 + 69 + 102 + 20.09 + 9.9 + 14.85 + 2.75 + 13.65) = 48.26.

so, i only need 50 mg to meet the requirements; the 150 from the nectarine is exorbitant.

then, how big does a peach need to be to make it worthwhile?

.58*x = 50 <---> x = 50/.58 = 86

it seems, then, that peaches are indeed good enough.

other fruits i could plug in:

- mangoes: .99 mg/g

- pear: .73 mg/g

so, i'll need to do a three-way comparison for these three items - mango, pear, peach - to determine which is the better stable source of inositol, as well as b5 & choline.

for now, i've got ten relatively large nectarines to enjoy.

...& i need to crunch some numbers for the fibre add - how much fibre do i need to meet the betaine requirements?

you'll notice that the federal government doesn't tend to say much about an actual land claim in caledonia, though - not when property is the prime consideration. 

none of the parties in parliament would stand up against real estate developers in southern ontario; they're not an easy target, like the fishing union out east is.

while i would like to see a solution that upholds the primacy of egalitarianism and ensures everybody's rights are respected, i'm primarily an environmental activist, not an indigenous rights activists, and i don't really have a horse in this race. the thing in caledonia is truly complicated, and i don't want to get into it. neither side of the debate is absolutely right, and they're going to have to find some way to co-exist. but, there isn't an explicitly environmental concern, and my interest is consequently rather minimal.

but, i'm upfront and honest about it - i don't talk out of whatever side of my ass i think is going to give me a poll bump this week.

the indigenous groups in canada know that the political establishment is full of fickle friends. the politicians are only fooling themselves.

but, it's no coincidence that they tend to align on the side of capital, and only care about the indians when they have a buck that can be made from doing so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_River_land_dispute

this update has taken far longer than i wanted it to, because i tried to avoid sleeping last night to get nectarines in the morning (done.) and then had to wait until the afternoon because it was raining and then had to actually sleep. on top of that, the disgusting pigs upstairs are back at it again, after having stopped for a brief while. it's frustrating, but there's no use in cleaning in here until that issue is dealt with - and it could be quite a while, it seems.

i don't know why they keep starting and stopping, except...

it doesn't seem to be the main dude cop that smokes but some kind of female sidekick, and the dude cop at the least tolerates it in ways i never will and don't want to. i keep calling on the pigs to send me a cop that doesn't smoke, please - if they have to continue to monitor me while i harmlessly type into my computer. fucking idiots....

let me just finish this up before i catch up on breakfast.

the purpose of the lime is inositol (10%+ the rdi), but it's also another decent shot of c. there are more obscure benefits to limes that i'll get to later; this add wasn't random. but, i put it in now to get to the 30% inositol levels, and that now closes that problem in the first two meals. a glass of citrus juice with the eggs will get me up over 1000, total.

limes are cheap and plentiful, and i intend to eat them with the pith, but not the peel. i wish i could get better data, but it's assumed in this culture that you're wasteful. so, i'm undershooting it and i know it.

maybe i'll make a video in the end showing the world how i do it, but for now i'm gong to update the chart a little to specify how i'm eating certain things.

and, i'll just dump the data in....data from usda unless otherwise noted, as always.

there was a typo in the amount of vitamin c in kiwis that's been corrected. i dropped the '6' in '69'.

i've also got some sunflower seeds for this bowl, but i need to add the fibre for the fruit bowl in first as the next add.

disclaimer:

i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.

specific brands used:

- natura vanilla soy milk (light)

- chapman's black cherry ice cream

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- vector cereal

- black diamond brand medium cheddar cheese

- selection brand pasta [metro/food basics]

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- black diamond brand medium cheddar cheese

- irrestibles brand olive canola oil [metro/food basics]

- dempster's whole grain double flax bread

- bulk barn nutritional yeast

- natura chocolate soy milk

- no specific brand or type of coffee

diet options:

daily:

1) bran/fibre option for the fruit bowl will boost betaine a lot

 2 ) pasta salad bowl:

- yogurt is high in b5 and b8 and b12 and choline and d.

- beets good for betaine

- one tbsp of imitation bacon bits (isoflavones, maybe)

- lemon/lime (probably for phytonutrients) 

- garlic cloves (probably for phytonutrients)
- oregano & pepper (probably for phytonutrients)

- red clover (if locatable or foragable, for phytoestrogens)

- alfafa?

- sunflower seeds are high in b5 & high in e, with small amounts of choline but high amounts of omega-6. it doesn't really add up here, but may be better in the pasta bowl (after i work out the yogurt). b15/dmg.

- rice bran is similar to sunflower in b5, but lower in omega-6 and lower in choline. also, less e. it would be better if i find myself strictly concerned about b5, but in the pasta bowl. this seems unlikely.

- dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & higher in choline, but also has a little b12 & has almost no fat. it's almost like the missing part of the yeast. i'm having trouble finding it though and don't think the isolate available at bulk barn is comparable. it seems to be largely seen as a waste product in yogurt production. it may be broadly useful across plates.

3) eggs:
- salami (45 g) (25% b1, 12% b3, 5% b5, 11.5% b6, 0% b9, 20% b12)

- rice (100 g) (60% b1, 35% b3, 4% b5, 6% b6, 69% b9)

- soy meat () <----only choice, really

- orange juice (1 cup) (15% b1, 4% b2, 5% b3, 5% b5, 5% b6, 19% b9, 207% c, added e?)

- grapefruit juice is high in inositol

- cranberry juice (unsweetened. need added c, has e)

- tomato juice

need: 6% b1, 75% b3, 45% b4, 65% b5, 15% b6, 25% b8, 55% b9, 60% b12, 10% k

glucose:
i'm more concerned about diabetes than weight gain, so...
the glycemic index is:
running total...
